Lisa's Visit Part Two Or the most picture heavy post ever

This was the view from Lisa's hotel room. No, I did not use the zoom. That is actually how close the train tracks were. Needless to say, she moved rooms after one night.

On Thursday we went to the OC Fair. We were thinking that it wouldn't be crowded because opening weekend was over and it was a Wednesday. Everyone else in Orange County must have thought the same thing because it was more crowded than I think I have ever seen it.

Wall to wall people

Cameron and Grace went on this ride. It went in a circle backwards and then this tent folded over you while you rode. Not my cup of tea. Cameron and Grace loved it.

Remember the pig that was pregnant last time? She had her babies.

All together now..........Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

On Friday we went to the American Girl Doll store.
It was like the Mother ship was calling Grace
home(love that quote from "Friends").

Pretty fountain at "The Grove" where American Girl Doll Place was

These kind of freaked me out. Dolls that look just like you.
One is fine. But a bunch of them together is freaky.

The Hippie doll is my favorite. I used to have that bike.

Grace with her "twin" doll and matching outfits.

Lisa, Grace and Cameron at American Girl Place.
Cameron is displaying his
displeasure of the whole American Girl Doll experience.

On Saturday we met up with Stacey and the kids at Downtown Disney.
Tony Hawk was there doing a skateboarding demonstration. It was gnarly.
(That's me trying to be cool. I wasn't that impressed.
Although Tony is catching some wicked air on that trick).

Give me an "A". For Cameron. I don't know why.

Austin, Cameron and Ryleigh all had their pictures taken with their respective letters in the "California". Upon realizing that Grace had no letter on which to pose she said in her best drama filled voice "There's no "G" in California!! Sob". Heh.

Here we are compromising. "F" for friends!

C for Cameron

A for Grace. Again, I don't know why. Oh yeah.
There's an "A" in Grace.

The whole group(minus Joe). C for Californians.

Somewhere in there we squeezed in a trip to Dave and Buster's. Love how intent everyone is on driving their little cars around the tiny little track. I think Cameron won. Much to Uncle Joe's chagrin.

Grace's favorite game. Doesn't she look like she is sittng at a slot machine? Nice. Way to go D & B's.

Someday

You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry
[Chorus]
And maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday

Now wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run, oh
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it's good to be so warm

And I don't want to waitI just want to know
I just want to hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow
Cause maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
We'll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just feel better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday
Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again
